So,.. wow. Really wasnt expecting the story to go where it goes, when I first decided to read it. My first thoughts were hummm this art work is odd, not sure I like it but maybe the story is good / better.
Then I started reading and right away you can just tell there is alot going with the subtext of all thats not being said. I was right, I think. The story really is alot better than the art. But actually maybe there's a reason the art is the way it is. With writing this good, there is no way they just settled for "whatever" art could be had at hand.
The story continued to pull me in, and the art becomes "comfortable." Its like a touch stone, something cute and light to counter the ever growing depths of feelings the story and the characters are experiencing. But honestly by the end of the currently available content, I realize even the art work isnt enough to keep the tears from rolling down my face.
I have come to the conclusion that the artwork is actually a purposeful facade. Its meant to lull you into not taking things seriously, into thinking this is going to be something cutesy and fun, so you dont see how deep the water is, until your drowning in the tears. I'll be honest I found it to be extremely effective.
